The SCRIP profit will be split between the participating school families and the Home School Council. If you are not currently using Scrip or have not enrolled in the Meijer program for schools, please call the school office to find out how to start. You can help our school families with their tuition and help the school at the same time.
++++++++++++++++++
Please turn your Scrip orders in before noon on Mondays. Orders that are turned in after 12:00 will be sent out with the next week's order. We do our best to have the orders ready by Friday for pick-up. Don't forget that by using the Scrip program you are helping yourself with tuition, but also helping to earn money for the school.
Thanks for your support of the program!
Don’t forget about the Meijers program. Sign yourself up and as many family members or friends as you can find. Thanks to this program, the school has been receiving checks for about $300 each month (and, of course, 60% goes back to your tuition account).
Applications for the new Meijers programs are at the school office or you can mail in a paper application or sign up on-line at www.meijer.com (under "Community Rewards"). Make sure you sign yourself up quickly. The program will be very easy to use, but you need to have your account established with Meijers before your friends and family can sign up to help you.
Please don't order any more Meijer Scrip.
It is no longer available!
The next profit pay-out will happen in January 2005. Wouldn’t it be great if you earned enough to cover a whole tuition payment, or more ?!
Meijer Programs
Scrip sales have really taken off! Monsignor Groshek announced at the beginning of July that school families would get 60% of the profits from Scrip sales credited toward their
tuition account. Since then, Mrs. Bonar has sold over $100,000. More families are trying it each week. We have friends and relatives buying SCRIP and designating that their profits go to a specific school family. We have parshioners buying SCRIP and designating that their profits go to a specific school family. And, we have people who don't know a specific family buying SCRIP and donating the profit to the Adopt-A-Child Scholarship Fund.
If you have not been using the Scrip program, this is the time to start! Orders will be placed on Thursday mornings and will be ready for pick up the following Wednesday. We also will continue to have some of the most popular retailers "on hand". They can be purchased in the daycare office before and after school. If you still just don’t understand the program, please ask about it. It’s a great way to help yourself and the school at the same time.
For those of you who have not yet given SCRIP a try, pick something easy like groceries or gas or a restaurant that you eat at frequently. Get an order form and fill it out. Turn your order in to Mrs. Bonar in the latch key room by noon on Mondays.
Be sure to fill out the line about who you want the profit to go to. Your order will be ready on Friday. There are three different places you can pick up your SCRIP, or your child can bring it home. (Be careful, though, the school does not replace any SCRIP that is lost or misplaced.)
The details of the SCRIP program are listed in a rules and guidelines handout available in the school office. We have almost 100 retailers to choose from.
We hope you give the program a try, soon!
